For the tire I started by designing one segment of the tire's pattern, then I repeatedly duplicated and bent the original pattern 360 degrees (Fig.07). The tire's brand was first created in Photoshop, and then a bump map texture was applied (Fig.08).

For the headlights, the most important point was the complex look of the glass refraction. I made the glass design in a duplex surface. As you can see in Fig.09, I applied a general glass surface for the first layer and a bump map texture for the second glass.

Fig. 09

The bump map texture was made using the Gradient tool in Photoshop (Fig.10).

Lighting

I used real studio light settings and created a scene that I could refer to (Fig.11).

Fig. 11

Here are the lights that I used (Fig.12 - 14):

V-Ray light - helps to create the ambience and reflections within the scene

V-Ray light - bounces off a spherical object and creates soft lights

V-Ray light - bounces off a spherical object and creates soft lights

V-Ray light - bounces off a spherical object and creates soft lights

V-Ray light - I searched for the areas where it looked too dark or had little reflection and decided whether or not I needed to add or take out more light.

Spot light - I made the background brighter to help separate theÂ car from the background.Â I also added color to the light to create an overall atmosphere.

Because I wanted to make a soft reflection, I made sure that the V-Ray light's Diffuse was on and that the Specular and Reflection were both off.

The shape of the Hummer is not round, but rather itÂ has a flat shape. So, I used the method mentioned above to try and create a softer reflection, and in turn create an image that has more volume (Fig.15).

Even if there was a studio filled with people on set who were able to catch every angle of the scene, it would still be hard work. I had to constantly remember to set the light according to where I was going to set the camera.

And here's the final image (Fig.16).

This outlines the progress of my work, and I hope that it is a helpful resource for you.Â Thank you very much!

Are you willing to sell the design
Waiting for the your reply

I would love to see more renderings. I

(ID: 33335, pid: 0) Mike Lathrop on Fri, 14 January 2011 1:28am Just revisited your work and still impressed. Please explain to me what do you want to do with this. There must be a future or goal for you. I to have a visual love for the the H1 and am searching for a future manufacturing of a product like this in Asia. I am getting closer, but not there yet.

(ID: 26879, pid: 0) Jermy-S on Wed, 10 November 2010 12:43am Maybe if you had called it "rendering a Hummer H1" as opposed to "making..." it would have had a bit more truth to the title. Using the word "making" is pretty deceptive, as you don't show how you made it, at all.
